Seahawks Secure Postseason Spot with Thrilling Overtime Triumph over Los Angeles Rams.
Receiver Saubert made the game-winning two-point conversion for Seattle.
Seattle staged a remarkable fightback to defeat the Rams in extra time, securing their place in the NFL play-offs.
Rallying from a 30-14 deficit in the fourth quarter, the Seahawks triumphed by a single point at home, registering their fifth consecutive victory.
While the Rams had already secured a playoff spot earlier on Sunday, the Seattle team booked their return to the postseason after a two-year absence.
With this result, the Seattle have taken over their Conference race with a twelve and three mark, replacing the Los Angeles, who fell to the fifth seed with an 11-4 standing.
Action Highlights
Signal-caller Darnold threw two picks but regrouped to deliver two touchdown passes, including the second score to wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the extra period.
The visitors held a six-point lead at half-time before Kenneth Walker III broke free for a 55-yard touchdown run for Seattle.
Los Angeles cornerback Josh Wallace then returned Darnold's initial interception for 56 yards, leading to a short touchdown by Corum on the ensuing snap.
In the fourth quarter, a touchdown from Stafford to Nacua extended the Rams' lead to 30-14, but Rashid Shaheed provided Seattle's hope with a spectacular return for a score.
Darnold then connected with Barner in the endzone, and a converted two-point play forced the game into overtime.
Although Puka Nacua scored for his second touchdown in overtime, Smith-Njigba responded in kind to set up the game-winning conversion.
